From the British Museum Website, Curator's comments: Medallic Illustrations 1, published in 1885, states: This medal is a variety of M.7134; 1865,0724.2 and 1866,0606.3. All these medals are extremely rare. They are always cast, and sometimes chased, and were executed by Heinrich Beitz [sic] the younger. They were issued to commemorate the treaty between the English and Dutch by which the latter were to pay £30,000 for the permission to fish in the British seas. The fleet which was equipped to bring about this treaty was engaged in clearing the narrow seas of pirates.
Not eligible for slabbing because of the cast manufacture and the fact that so few examples exist.
